Rock The Mote Festival

The festival is located in Mote Park, Maidstone. 

Rock The Mote Festival is from Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th of May 2025

Only those camping with Rock the Mote will be allowed to leave the arena to go back to the camping field and be re-admitted.

The weather shouldn’t affect the festival too much because of the time of year, however, the ground

may become wet and soft, so if the weather up to and including the day of the festival is wet,

Rock the Mote advises wearing your wellies and waterproof jackets!

Adults are not permitted to bring any food or drinks onto the site, apart from one 500ml sealed bottle of water per person. However, Rock the Mote will allow children’s snacks and a soft drink for young children.

Those camping with Rock the Mote can bring a personal supply of food and drink for consumption in the camping areas.

Highly trained Assistance Dogs are the only animals permitted. Due to possible concerns for animal welfare in the environment (including loud music, smoke, sun, pyrotechnics and fireworks) Rcok the Mote asks that anyone requiring a highly trained assistance dog to accompany them to contact Rock the Mote first at customer@lucuslive.com. 

You’re welcome to bring your own seating (folding, camping chairs) and blankets to sit on, however

please be aware that these cannot be placed directly in front of the stage because it creates a hazard.

You must be behind the barriers, which will be clearly signposted.
